Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) - I Was Somewhere Cold, Dark... and Lonely

Текст песни

In January, driving northbound on Abbott Rd
the car in front of us slammed their brakes down hard
and slid off onto the right-hand shoulder
We were probably following too close,
but I honestly can’t remember
We swerved into the turn lane
and lost control when we hit a patch of black ice
that would carry us right into the unavoidable path
of a Saturn barreling south in the opposite direction
My life did not flash before my eyes
I was trying to steer the van anywhere else
as time ground to a halt and froze
Then exploded violently
as metal collapsed into metal
at a horrific speed
There is always enough time to do the things you love
(until it’s gone)
